Introduce young minds to the exciting world of auto mechanics with the Goodyear Pretend Play Line — a groundbreaking collaboration between children’s tool-maker Red Toolbox and automotive industry leader Goodyear. This innovative collection features realistic role-play products designed to ignite creativity, build motor skills, and enhance problem-solving — all through the power of play.
Toys that encourage pretend-adulting have been a cornerstone of childhood for generations, with early examples like spinning wheels, telephones, and appliances designed to mimic adult roles and daily life. Created for children as young as three, the Goodyear Pretend Play Line launches with a trio of engaging products that provide hands-on learning experiences in car care and automotive repair. Each is thoughtfully crafted to inspire curiosity and encourage active participation in a number of useful activities.
The Goodyear Auto Repair Workbench ($79.99 USD) offers an authentic mechanic’s workshop experience in a safe, imaginative setting. Equipped with a complete play tool set — including a battery-operated drill — the workbench motivates children to engage in creative repair and maintenance scenarios. Its sturdy design and realistic features promote hours of interactive play, fostering both fine motor skills and mechanical understanding.
Promoting cleanliness and outdoor fun, the Goodyear Water Pressure Car Cleaner Set ($49.97 USD) includes a seven-piece kit with a water pressure tool, cloth, sponge, wiper, goggles, and a branded apron and hat that’s sure to make your little one feel like a pro. This set makes vehicle care both educational and entertaining while inspiring pride in a job well done. It also encourages responsibility by teaching children the importance of keeping cars, and other items around the home, clean and well maintained.
Rounding out the initial lineup is the Goodyear Mega Car Engine Repair Set ($35.00 USD). Featuring a realistic engine model with working headlights, a horn, and authentic sound effects, this hands-on kit is perfect for aspiring mechanics eager to explore the inner workings of a car through lifelike play. Its interactive components can be disassembled and reassembled with ease. It inspires exploration while also looking to spark a lifelong interest in automotive technology.
“Our mission at Red Toolbox has always been to create toys that empower kids to explore, learn, and build through play,” said Ami Rosenfeld, Chief Executive Officer of Red Toolbox in a press release. “The Goodyear brand is synonymous with quality and innovation, and we are thrilled to collaborate with them to bring the world of auto mechanics to life for kids. The Goodyear Pretend Play Line offers a unique opportunity for children to engage with tools and vehicles in an imaginative way.”
The Goodyear Pretend Play Line is available for purchase at major retailers such as Amazon, Costco, and Walmart, as well as select specialty stores and the official Red Toolbox website.
